Lewis and Clark National Historical Park offers opportunities to get outdoors and learn about the Corps of Discovery’s winter at Fort Clatsop. The park trails and the Fort Clatsop replica are open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The park will be closed on December 24 and 25. Until further notice, the visitor center is closed due to the extreme risk level of Clatsop County.
During this holiday season, special virtual activities will be posted on the park’s social media pages such as our facebook page, our instagram, and our youtube. An audio tour of the park may be experienced by dialing (503)207-2240.
A unit of the National Park Service, Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, Fort Clatsop is located southwest of Astoria, Oregon, three miles southeast of U.S. Highway 101.

Continue following CDC guidelines of physical distancing, wearing a mask when needed outdoors, and avoiding crowds. Dogs that are leashed to their humans are welcome on the trails. Visit these sites during the time of year the Corps of Discovery stayed on the coast.
